1 Kings 15:13-16

13 He also removed Ma'acah his mother from being queen mother because she had an abominable image made for Ashe'rah; and Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was wholly true to the LORD all his days.

15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the votive gifts of his father and his own votive gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 And there was war between Asa and Ba'asha king of Israel all their days.
